The situation is being closely monitored and will be reopened as soon as possible.

SPECIAL NOTICE:

Due to a large number of complaints, the NPS is cleaning the Bull Pen with plows and a beach sweeper to remove debris. Please help keep the Bull Pen clean by picking up any trash or debris and do not throw anything but wood in your campfires. Please put trash in the proper containers. Also please be aware that due to the cleaning process, the area will not be as compact as usual. Be extra careful not to get stuck.
Sam,
Thanks for the info. on the bullpen! Glad to hear they are cleaning it up... it sure needs it!
What cleaning up we do just isn't enough!
Dianne
